Loved by guests
"The breakfast buffet had a huge choice from English and American style to Traditional Korean."
"There was netflix on the TV which is great because so many hotels force you to watch their crappy paid channels."
"The crib was preplaced in the room complete with Pororo Bedding which just lit both of my toddlers with gigantic smiles."
